Body double.

Me thinks women are being crapped on. I just came across a comcast blurb that people believe Britney Spanial is using a body double in a recent beauty ad. I'm sure it's all good to some, but here we have a crew of make up artists with 55 gal drums of crack filler etc, fake this and that to prepare for the shoot. Now digitaly superimpose sundry body parts. Next retouch and digitaly enhance. Walla! New standard set for all you womenz! Oh yea and if you buy enough goop #6 you will look like that! Maybe if you drink it and get lucky enough to have a good trip.

We flipped past "Doctor 90210" a show about a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who is the most arrogant jackass I have seen short of Simon Cowell...we figured we'd wait to see the focus patient of the show, sure enough, an attractive young lady, nice face, pretty smile, tall and skinny...but wanted bigger boobs...

Now, I am as big of a fan as the next guy of big ol' tracks of land but the level of importance put on them by people is pretty sad...woman do it to themselves tho, I think they do these things for each other more than for any guy...

Somewhere I just read that women who get breat enlargements are 3x more likely to commit suicide right around the 10 year mark. Surgeons are even suggesting following up with patients as they approach it.

Pretty sad really. Nobody should have to feel like they need to do something like this. You can get bigger boobs but the underlying problem is still there. Treat that first.

Boobs schmoobs. Some of the sexiest women I've ever met had little or none. dB's right - I think these women are basing their body images on something other than what men actually want. Same thing with BROWN lipstick. Whose idea was that? They certainly didn't consult me. Makes a woman look like she just finished chowing down on a turd. Mmmmmmm..attractive.

hahahaha, brown lipstick, actually, dislike makeup in general, the less the better...

I agree with BH regarding the mental aspect, I know a couple gals with implants and each has an odd self-image. Not bad ladies at all, and would be perfectly acceptable without them...even moreso as they'd look more natural...

Women buy in to that good hollywood sells, guys, on the whole, haven't...at least not once they have got out of puberty...

Hey, didn't we have this conversation a few days ago about hollywood, bone-skinny girls and whatnot?

A girl I know (not a friend..) received a modest sum as part of the estate of her mother. This girl is not what I would call attractive (many agree), and she was hideously in debt. She had liens against her, and garnishments against her income (about four), she was on probation for some petty crimes (thieving, embezzling). She was so in the hole that it was hard to watch (especially for her wonderful young son). Did she use her inheritance to pay off some of the debt? Nope, she got a big ol' pair of hooters (the old adage, "you can't polish a turd" comes into play).
Why? What was going through her head?
Wouldn't you pay off some debts first?

The sad part of the story is that shortly afterward she got picked up for a probation violation and went into the slammer.

Walt's right, these forced fashions/looks are completely unrealistic for most women. Stick insects with caked make-up just don't do it for me, and I've rarely even seen one in real life (I've seen stick insects, and I've seen caked make up, but they don't look like they came out of Maxim..).

Campaign for real women, anybody?

TallChap, from what you are saying it sounds like there are WAY bigger problems at play when it comes to that person...it is sad though. That is simply somebody that has absolutely no clue about personal responsibilities...for beyond just a forced fashion issue.

I really think people should have to have a license to procreate...I dunno how it could be inforced, but a chastity belt comes to mind...

It drives my wife crazy when she spends lots of time to get ready to go out or whatever and I usually don't even notice, I more often take notice when women wear little to no makeup, a flannel shirt and old jeans...like TallChap said "real women"...

Yeah, a license to procreate. Good one.

We need a license to drive, to marry, to have a business, to run Cubase etc., but all you need to make a baby is five minutes and a little privacy!

When we marry we exchange vows: love, honour, cherish, forsaking all others etc.
All very nice, and to my mind necessary. A nice promise to respect someone.

With a baby, all you have to do is avoid anyone see you f*** up (I won't get into social commentary or Britney Spaniel jokes)!

Brown lipstick? Have yet to see that.
I do kid 'er indoors (not really a make up person) on her choice for our wedding. Kind of blue shade....
Very odd.
"You may kiss the bride...."
"....er......really?...Must I?...She looks cold..."

Tall Chap,

Those forced fashion looks are impossible for all women! There is no Britney Spanial. There is only a fabricated image produced by many artists. And dB is right as well, these marketers are preying on the weak of mind, the weak of emotion, and the adolescent. As far as why that hook works, I would imagine it comes down to preceived attention deprivation I guess. Personaly, the person, woman or man, with a good sense of humor, interesting conversation, a sincear interest in something, will get my attention far before any appearance. Women were doing better in developing self for a while, but lately the women being highlighted have moved the gender back to being good for only sperm transportation between the bed and the bathroom.

Sure, they call some of the shades 'plum' and the like, but it's still BROWN to me. Disgusting.

...but if it matches their handbag...

"fashion" is something I will just never, ever, ever understand...I mean, I get nice clothes, looking clean and well kept, neat hair, clean shaven and all that...but has anyone ever thought that the weird **** people wear on the runway are really good looking?

I was part of the team that ran a news portal for the apparel and fashion industry for a while, I ended up resizing and cropping hundreds of photos from runway shows staged for the biggest names in fashion and pictures I saw generally made me laugh...I mean, outrageously stupid clothes designs created by flaming excentrics that just made no sense at all...

...except I still remember the "naughty brides" lingerie show...now THAT one I liked...

Brown lipstick?? I must agree, someone ate a turd on a dare and it became a fashionable color. YUCK!

Big Hooties?? Fine if they are real. Fake ones.

Well, you can go to the hardware store and make your own to squeeze out of some window sealing silicon. They just ain't like the real thing. One of our mothers in the troop booted her husband, and the very next week showed up with brand new ones. And a new boyfriend to boot. He looked all the part of a fake booby lovin guy as well.

And lastly, I agree. Media and Hollywood have made it impossible for some women to live with what they are. I know several who are afraid to even let them selves be seen naked with the light on by their own husbands for crying out loud. How friggin stupid is that. Get a grip and live with what the good lord gave ya. Some one out there will like it.

Ya, That's a stich. Both sexes do it. Boot the one you have. Make investement on your appearance. Snag another with that new appearance. Six months down the road be in the same boat with a partner that was attracted by the same inner-self and therefore a near copy of the last. Reduce your standards and adpot vague derogatory generalizations about the opposite sex. Look in the mirror again. Turn off the lights. Anything but work on inner self. We don't learn from our mistakes, we simply try to hide them with silicone and crack filler.

I bet you could make a living out of telling people whats wrong with them and lining up all kinds of different surgeries. It'd be like flight center, but for insecure idiots.

Ha, that's funny. I submitted the same link as CS. Didn't look at his first. We must surf the same places.
